We arrived at the hotel to find no one available to check us in, the clerk had left the hotel for some reason. He was extremely friendly after arriving and throughout our stay. The problem arose when the rate and breakfast were discussed. They claimed we did not get breakfast and the rate was higher than what was listed on our form, good thing we had a copy of the e-mail. This ultimately did not matter when it came to breakfast as they refused to honor the contract and we had to pay for breakfast. The room was adequate, but all single beds and no mat in the shower so very slippery. It is also out of the way if you want to spend the most of your time at the museums and tourist attractions of Paris.

This is a small 2 star hotel on a quiet side street in the 14 arrondissement. I very much enjoyed my stay here. My hotel room could have done with a little updating, especially the small bathroom. But the room was clean and pleasant enough for a small hotel in Paris. The room was at the back of the hotel and with a small courtyard and surrounding buildings - so the room was slightly less light than the rooms at the front.
The hotel has a small lift which is useful, but during most of my stay I tended to use the stairs. My booking included breakfast in the hotel, in the small breakfast room in the basement. The room tended to get quite busy, and you may have to share a table with another guest. The breakfast was quite adequate and although not a spread it fairly set me up for the day with coffee, orange juice and croissants. The best thing about the hotel was the staff, they were very helpful and polite, and balanced out the less than perfect room decor. They were great when I had problems contacting several people in Paris.
The hotel is set on a quiet sidestreet in a residential area with a nice playpark just opposite the hotel. There are several restaurants and bakeries around the area and several grocery shops - including a late night one on the street opposite. The hotel is between two metro lines and its about five minutes to the both stations - Pernety on line 13 and Alesia on line 4. Its also about 15 minutes from Denfert-Rochereau RER (there is also a metro station here on line 13) which has a direct train to Charles de Gaulle airport. Although in the 14 arrondissement the metro links mean you can be in the city centre quickly, plus getting the chance to see another side of Paris.
I quite enjoyed my stay at this hotel, the area felt quite safe and although the hotel may not be top-notch it is warm and welcoming and I thought reasonable good value for money.
